When Harry Met Sally ( Finding Your Calling )

Good morning and Happy Friday. As we continue in the month of When In June based on Psalms 73:3, 1st Corinthians 13:11 and Matthew 17:8 I want to talk about a movie that came out in 1989 called When Harry Met Sally. This movie cost $16 million to make and made over $92 million for the people involved. The plot of the movie deals with two friends, Harry and Sally, who struggle to find a common ground on the definition of friendship. Through a twelve year journey each person went through relationships, heartaches, and confusion that made them at times question should they even be friends. After a long time they finally found themselves attracted to each other and eventually got together. God at times sends you through a journey that no one could imagine especially if you are a person who has given your life to God for many years. Each of us has an assignment that has to be fulfilled to advance the kingdom of God. When Harry Met Sally dealt with a journey about finding themselves. As a person of faith our journey may consist of Finding Your Calling.

When Harry Met Sally is about finding your calling. In looking up the words finding and calling I go to my source of definitions Dictionary.com. In looking up the word finding it means as follows; discovery, verdict,
or ascertained. The word calling means as follows, vocation, profession or trade. Most of us are already in our calling but some of us are still trying to discover our vocation, see whats the verdict for our profession and ascertain what is our trade in the kingdom of God. In the next three paragraphs I will look in the Word of God to see when three people found their calling.

In my first example of When Harry met Sally or finding your calling I want to go the Word of God and to 2nd Samuel 7:4-17. While he was asleep the prophet Nathan received his calling from God to allow to tell
about the covenant God has for David. Most times when we sleep God is giving us a message to discover our vocation  but in order to do that we have to have a relationship for us to know when he is talking to us.

In my second example of When Harry met Sally or finding your calling I look to the Word of God again and go to Isaiah the 6th chapter. In this chapter Isaiah saw one of the greatest things ever when he saw God
siting on the throne and heaven all at once. After seeing all of this he could have just let things be as they were but he accepted the assignment that the Lord had for him. It was not easy to tell the people a message of doom but that is what God had for him. Isaiah see whats the verdict for his profession.

In looking at the last example of When Harry met Sally or finding your calling I go the Word of God and John 3:1-21. In this passage Jesus is speaking with Nicodemus who is questioning the calling of Jesus. He,
Nicodemus ask Jesus a lot of questions because he wants to know how he could gain things like power and eternal life. Nicodemus despite hearing his calling does not ascertain what is his trade that God has for him.

In closing I want you to know that finding your calling is not that easy but if you have a relationship with God it can happen. Finding your calling may be one of you having to deliver news no one wants to hear. Finding your calling may be ignored as you may not be ready to fully accept Jesus as your personal Saviour. It is not easy  to discover our vocation, see whats the verdict for our profession and ascertain what is our trade, but when we allow God to use us, Jesus to save us and the Holy Spirit to fill us it will be a whole lot better than When Harry met Sally. Because we will be able to find our true calling. May God bless all who read this and I give God all the glory and honor. Have a great day all. Happy Fathers day all. Especially my Dad James Wesley.

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na

Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
